Romeo and Juliet is a wonderful play for people to read. The play is about two families, the Capulets and Montagues, that do no not get along. Every time the families see each other they fight,finally Prince Escalus is fed up and threatens the families that if they fight again in public, they will be killed. The Capulet's had a costume party for every one but the Montagues. The Montague boys went instead with their friend Mercutio who was invited. Romeo was depressed because he loved some one that did not love him back, all he did on the way to the party was complain about her and mope about how he is not loved. Later at the party Romeo started to have a good time,and finally, he saw Juliet. She was beautiful and he fell in love with her as soon as he layed eyes on her. Later that night when every one else was gone Romeo snuck to the back of Juliet's house. He had to talk to her. Juliet said that she would send her nurse to him tomorrow at nine o'clock to see if they would get married and if so when. Romeo talked to Friar Lawrence and he agreed to marrying them thinking it might bring the two families together. They got married but kept it a secret. The next day Mercutio and Benvolio were at the beach and the Capulets were around, Tybalt ( a Capulet) started problems. Romeo showed up and did not want to fight him because they were now family, but Tybalt started to become violent causing Romeo to fight back. Tybalt stabbed Mercutio, Romeo's best friend. Romeo had to get back at Tybalt. Romeo found Tybalt they started fighting and Tybalt dropped his gun, Romeo reached it, and shot and killed Tybalt. Romeo was banished from Verona. He had to leave every one including Juliet. Juliet was soon forced to marry Count Paris but was going to kill herself before the wedding, Friar Lawrence talked her out of it and said that he would give her a potion that would put her to sleep for 48 hours but it would make her look like she was dead, her family would bury her and Romeo would receive letters telling him to go to the tomb where she is buried and when she wakes up they can go back to where he is now forced to live. Romeo didn't get the letters in time and found out that Juliet was "dead" so he had to go to Verona to see it himself, when he saw Juliet he drank the poison he bought then she commited suicide when she woke up because he was dead now. After their deaths the two families started to get along again.
